As I enter my 4th year serving on the MAAC Board of Directors we continue to face many challenges keeping both this NFP Corporation healthy and vibrant, as well as contributing to the aeromodelling hobby. There is much hard work to do, including to continue to educate the membership by dispelling old myths about what belonging to MAAC really means, and reshaping MAAC to fit the regulatory mold.

For the loyal MAAC members who have wisely followed our directions and waited patiently for our very small group of volunteers to sort this out, I offer the sincere thanks of the entire organization. While running MAAC day to day is not the hobby and not a weight or burden the individual members carry or decide, this organization exists for the sole purpose of enabling individual member enjoyment of a fabulous hobby and pass time - we all commit our time and energy freely for the love of model aviation.

Here's to a brighter 2024 - regardless the challenges we face.

I grew up around aviation, with a father who was a bush pilot and an avid plastic scale modeller. I'm a life long modeller who was an active RC pilot as a youth, and then like many of us I got out of aeromodelling in my teenage years. I never did stop modelling and have been an active & life-long Model Train enthusiast as well and started scratchbuilding in the model train hobby, an interest which has come over to my RC activities as well.

I came back to aeromodelling in my late 20's and RC a few years later.

I'm now an active sailplane pilot, and dabble in RC power (Electric and am returning to glow), rubber & catapult freeflight and am an active builder with an interest in classic RC designs, especially smaller 1/2A and .10-.25 sized models. Radios also are a core part of my hobby and I spend a lot of time on both modern radios (OpenTX and Spektrum Airware) and conversions & repairs of classic radios from the 60's & 70's. You might even find me flying a Galloping Ghost on 2.4GHz.
